题目列表(包括答案和解析)
My six-year-old granddaughter, Caitlyn, and I stopped at a Tim Horton’s shop for a blueberry cake. As we were going out of the door, a young teenage boy was coming in.
This young man had no hair on sides of his head with a set of blue spiked(竖起的)hair on top of it. One of his nostrils(鼻孔) was pierced (扎、穿), and a ring ran through the hole and a chain went across his face and was attached to a ring he was wearing in his ear. He held a skateboard under one arm and a basketball under the other.
Caitlyn, who was walking ahead of me, stopped at once when she saw the teenager, I thought he’d scared her and she’d frozen on the spot.
I was wrong.
My granddaughter backed up against the door and opened it as wide as it would go. Now I was face to face with the young man. I stepped aside and let him pass. His response was a polite “Thank you very much”.
On our way to the car, I praised Caitlyn for her manners in holding open the door for the young man. She didn’t seem to be troubled by his appearance, but I wanted to make sure. If a grandmother’s talk about freedom of self-expression and allowing people their differences was in order, I wanted to be ready.
As it turned out, the person who needed the talk was me.
The only thing Caitlyn noticed about the teenager was the fact that his arms were full. “He would have a hard time to open the door. ”
I saw the partially shaved head, the set of spiked hair, the piercing and the chain. She saw a person carrying something under each arm and heading toward a closed door.
In the future, I hope to get down on her level and raise my sights.
1.What did the author think of the young man?
A. Polite. B. Uncommon. C. Frightening. D. Funny.
2. Caitlyn helped the young man because______ .
A. she was scared B. she didn’t notice his look
C. she wanted to avoid him D. it would be difficult for him to open the door
3. The underlined sentence suggests that_______ .
A. the author was ashamed of herself
B. the author didn’t know how to give a talk on freedom
C. a talk on freedom was useless for the granddaughter
D. people should have more freedom to express themselves
4. The author intends to tell us that_______ .
A. we shouldn’t judge a person by his look
B. we should allow people more freedom to dress differently
C. we should be more helpful and tolerant(宽容的)to people
D. we shouldn’t be too particular about people in life
